Have you been running the same ad copy for months? More than a year? Are you seeing your click through rate drop? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it is probably time to refresh your ad copy.

I realize refreshing ad copy can be a challenge, but new ad copy is a must in keeping your PPC campaigns relevant, as well as maintaining your ad rank and quality score.

Here are a few tips on how to tap into your creative juices and write some great new ad copy.

Don’t Go It Alone

It is common to run out of ideas if you have been working on the same account for long periods of time. This is what your team is for! Pull in a colleague to take a look at the account and offer up new ideas and concepts. Often, a fresh set of eyes or a new perspective is all you need to be inspired.

Update Your Ad Extensions

Ad extensions, likesitelink extensions, and callout extensions not only allow you to take up more real estate on the page, but they affect your ad rank. If you are struggling to find ways to refresh your current add extensions, look no further than your current offers. Do you have new promotions or specials? Add those, but remember to pause them once the offer has expired. Keeping up to date and relevant is imperative!

Watch What Your Competitors Are Doing

Look at their social media pages and who they are targeting because they are your target audience, too. Like a competitor’s page, and watch how their audience interacts with their posts and ads and use that to your advantage when writing your new ad copy.

Type in your own keywords and look at the ads that show up on the search engine results page alongside yours. Perhaps there are keywords in your competitors’ ads that remind you of your own differentiators. It’s ok to view your competitors as inspiration!

Think Outside of the Box

Be creative! Think of other ways to describe your product or offer. If you have a new product or offer, try using words like “latest,” “just out,” or “cutting edge” to make your ads stand out. Writing ad copy doesn’t have to be boring, make it fun! Try new ideas.
